Bring Home the BlizzCon WoW Classic Demo With the Virtual Ticket

would be interesting to see their stats on in-game cloak mog settings across the community, if it's significantly greater for hidden then not and they offer these as a "perk" your clearly not listening to your player base.

I know how one is entertained is debatable, and if you think it's worth it, by all means, go for it, I just don't think it is worth my money to pay for them advertising their product.

LOL thank you for that the irony NEW and classic don't go together that would be BFA instead then.

Remember you actually pay 50 bucks for the virtual ticket. That is to watch all the panels and stuff so you do not actually have to physically be there. Like you would have to 100 years ago. No you can sit at home in comfort and watch and event on the other side of the planet.

The cloak, banner and demo is extra stuff they didn't even have to give you.

Awesome, finally a Blizzcon promo I can actually get excited about! As someone that doesn't give a flying fuck about pets or shitty mounts getting a hands-on demo of Classic and a banner to lay down on noobs its much more exciting

Eh, I have played the game since late vanilla. Not sure I care to pay $50 for a brief walk down memory lane, but I can see why there's added value to this virtual ticket, a classic WoW server demo makes up for the lack of a mount/pet tenfold. Classic Servers along with Vanilla will eventually lose their nostalgic luster once they're out and everyone has played it for a while. Only people playing it after that will be the classic WoW old-heads, a rather niche group.

Banners and capes are cool until you realize they'll eventually collect dust in your toybox after you forget they're there. Mounts have a lot more freedom and potential to be flashy and interesting. Especially when there's the added exclusivity to it.


Those capes aren't even very interesting as far as capes go. They could've at least done something to make those capes INCREDIBLY flashy and stand out from your average 2D paper-back cape. Maybe give them unique cape physics and particle effects? Add extra layers onto the cape so it doesn't look flat - like making the tassels and chains individually hang off of the cape and billow in the wind? Add a cloak hood that overlaps your normal helmet armor in a similar way that the Christmas outfits do? Maybe give the cape a special animation, or at least a right-click function on the item itself that plays a few trumpets for the Alliance/war drums for Horde. Something small like that would've been nice.

But no, they're just two unremarkable alliance and horde themed capes, of which there are probably several in-game lookalikes that get across the same faction themes (i.e. the Stormwind and Orgrimmar reputation cloaks). If vanilla WoW's demo weren't here to distract everyone, this would be yet another PR disaster for Blizzard.

Different people like different things, so I guess it's a good thing people find value in different things. Unless Blizz update the Frost Wyrm mount with a sexy HD model then I don't care for another mount.

so still .. no classic release date

That's cool but where is my battle pet?

A vanilla demo, is that a joke? Assuming they've changed nothing because if they did it wouldn't be vanilla, it's the same game we played ~14 years ago. Why would anyone want a demo of that? Waste of time. It just sounds like an excuse to delay it even further. Not that I care because I won't be playing vanilla, been there done that.

Because you are in the extreme minority.

I played in late vanilla but really only knew what I was doing from BC onwards.

The classic experiance will be new for millions of people and nolstagic for the small % who were there and even smaller % who raided or pvped at the highest levels.

Just 23 guilds guilds fully cleared naxx40 before the tbc patch, less than 1000players saw kt die. From millions of playes. So the odds are you didn't finish it.

Uhm no one because you can't? Its just one zone, probably Elwynn and Durotar, stops giving exp when every MOB and quest turns grey.

I played the original classic wow (and Beta too), no need for a demo. This year I definitely won't buy the ticket.

Some shitty banners, lolno.

No thanks... Year ago was mounts which i don't have sadly so i will pass with it.

Also... Good i stop giving a fuck about classic scam.

Funny how people think that you spend money on the ticket to get items in game, and not for watching the Blizzcon event on stream.

this is actually sick...

Stream content will be posted on this and other similar websites almost immediately, actual videos will be available on youtube next day. Paying so much to watch same thing you can read 10 minutes later or watch next day for free doesn't make any sense.

If Blizzard wants to push faction pride again how about they do something about the leader that had the Horde perform a genocide first?

You'll get all the videos just a few hours later on mmo-c main page ...

Did they say if we'll get to keep our "demo character" when it will go live ? I doubt it

Yeah, I think I'll save my money this year. Demoing WoW classic is tempting, but I can just practice a little patience.
